Seriously Samsung, why??? Please at least allow people to select which icons they want to see. Knowing about a connected(!) bluetooth device or an alarm that is set is absolutely essential. Needs to be visible without swiping down first.

I just got the oneUI 7 upgrade three or 4 days ago. I'm rolling out back tomorrow. I feel like they took the lean and clean look so far to the point it seriously hinders usability. I have the ultra, I want a big screen,  so I can have lots of things on it,  not lots of empty space. Duh.

Have you passed it on? Do it again please. This is still a horrible horrible issue.

It's very important to have icons like Bluetooth, headset, alarm, and performance mode visible in the status bar. Here's why:

 

If I have a Bluetooth speaker paired and forget it's connected, I might play a personal voice note without realizing it's going to the speaker—now everyone nearby hears it. Same with the headset icon: if my earphones are unplugged or malfunctioning and I don't know, audio plays through the speaker instead of in my ears.

 

Alarms? Don't even get me started—it's essential to know at a glance if one is set.

 

As for high performance mode, I used to turn it on for certain tasks and rely on the icon to remind me. Now, I forget it's on because there's no quick way to see it, unless I dig through the settings.

Keep crying, they won't do anything about it.

I am rolling back to 6.1 and my next phone would definitely not be a Samsung.

Adding another response to please allow us to show our icons. I NEED to know at a glance when my headphones are connected. I've had a Samsung ever since the S2 and I've always been very happy. Please don't make me reevaluate that.

I need to get ALL the icons back that I had before,  INCLUDING my weather app, e-mail, connected devices and messages, so I can once again glance at my phone without having to work so hard to get the information I need so I can start my day, like what to wear, etc, before leaving my home.  Having to pull down for everything just horribly disturbs the flow  .
